Legend of Grimrock

 
Legend of Grimrock 10 years old!!!Apr 11, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsIs this a collective dream...? Do the Goromorgs have a soft spot in their rotten, black hearts after all? Or have they devoured too much cake? In any case, both Legend of Grimrock games are now 80% off. Happy 10th Birthday Grimrock! 🍾🍸🎉🎂 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3952720/f7af05dff9912e6653e57a37ac1cda32d394317b.jpgLegend of Grimrock vets announce Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir ForestApr 14, 2017 - PC GamerTwo of the guys behind the hit dungeon crawler Legend of Grimrock are in the early stages of work on a new RPG, under the banner of a new studio, called Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest. Unlike its first-person predecessor, Druidstone is a solo, isometric journey through a procedurally generated world, featuring a reincarnated druid, who—surprise!—can't remember who he is or how he met his demise. He is, however, gripped by a great sense of purpose: "The forest called you here because it needs you."  On the whole, it looks and sounds very much like an old-school RPG experience. You'll begin the game not only with no memories, but also no equipment, and must explore ruins, battle monsters, and make allies as you grow more powerful and develop new skills and abilities. Battles will take place on a two-dimensional grid, and will be "tactical and turn-based, so you have plenty of time to think through your options." And there may be some puzzles, "but it is not the main focus of Druidstone," the studio said in the FAQ. "Instead we are concentrating on the tactical battle system, exploration, and storyline."  Druidstone is being developed by a newly-formed studio called Ctrl Alt Ninja, which actually shares a number of people from Grimrock developer Almost Human. (Grimrock designer and audio man Antti Tiihonen is also involved.) Co-founder Juho Salila said that after four years of nothing but Grimrock, the team needed a break, but when he and Petri Hakkinen "started to have that old familiar itch" to make a new game, the other Almost Human founders were wrapped up in other projects.  "To keep things simple, we decided to found a new company and started prototyping new game ideas. We made something like seven prototypes including one that we developed almost six months before abandoning it. In the end we settled with Druidstone and started working on it full steam," he said. "One other advantage of developing a game under different name is the freedom of fresh start. With a new company we don't have the pressure of making another Grimrock game and we had a lovely blank canvas in front of us."  A release date hasn't been set, but it's still early in the development process so you probably don't want to start holding your breath just yet. For now, you can dig into a few more early screens below.      The best RPGs of all timeDec 18, 2015 - PC GamerParty Games: From Dungeon Master To Grimrock 2Jul 10, 2015 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunI rearranged all of my furniture yesterday so that I could play a game and it’s not even a game with a stonking great dancemat or waving and waggling control scheme. I’ve been dungeon crawling. This weekend, the stars aligned and I finally sank around fifteen hours into one of the big games waiting in my backlog. If I’m being honest, I shouldn’t look to the stars – I spent fifteen hours or thereabouts with Legend of Grimrock 2 because of the flurries of sleet that kept me huddled beneath a duvet, grimacing at the outside world.Linux and OS X versions updated!Jul 9, 2015 - Community AnnouncementsThe Linux version of Legend of Grimrock has been updated.

The Great Outdoors: Legend Of Grimrock 2Mar 26, 2013 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun Look at that! It’s the first screenshot from Legend of Grimrock 2 and it’s one of the worst pictures of a dungeon I’ve ever seen, right up there with the Mona Lisa and Magritte’s not-a-pipe-nor-a-dungeon. After creating some top notch dank dungeons for their first RPG, Almost Human appear to have slipped up and the dungeons in Grimrock 2 will apparently contain some trees and blue skies, and crenellated turrets peering from on high, just around the next bend in the path. Of course, it’s entirely possible that the picture isn’t a dungeon at all and that the game is undergoing a design overhaul. Let’s consult the development blog.

But for those hungry for more of the wonderful dank atmosphere, creepy monsters and surprisingly sexy stone walls, you can grab this new mod reworking the original maps whilst we await the second installment. (more…) The Dungeoning: Legend Of Grimrock II!Feb 21, 2013 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunYou know what’s finally real? No, no, not high-speed space travel, a panacea for the collective shattered heart of humanity, or lights that turn themselves off when you’ve gotten way too comfortable in bed. Something better! Odds are, Legend of Grimrock II will basically be all of those things – symbolically, anyway. And it’s an actual, factual Thing now, as per word from the wonderful dungeon master race of snail people over at Almost Human. There is one downside, though: that Grimrock expansion they were working on? Sadly, it won’t be seeing the light of day. (more…) There's Officially A Legend Of Grimrock Sequel On The WayFeb 21, 2013 - KotakuPetri Häkkinen, co-founder of Almost Human Games confirmed in a blog post earlier today, that Legend Of Grimrock, the dungeon crawler game that Mike Fahey loved so much is getting a sequel. The project initially started as a DLC or an expansion for the first game, but with an engine update on the way they've decided to expand the content they were working with into what will apparently be a fully-fledged sequel. Petri also hinted that they will update their blog much more often in the future, so those who loved Legend Of Grimrock should keep an eye out.

Who should you visit? What ugly, uncomfortable seasonal sweater should you wear? Which deity(s) should you dedicate your hedonistic blood celebrations to (aside from Horace, of courace)? And, most importantly, what will you buy before/after your relatives shower you with socks or rocks or whatever it is that passes for a universal gift these days? But it doesn’t end there. Oh no. There are, after all, 927.45 trillion videogames to choose between, so you may as well just start sobbing and curl up in a fetal futility ball right now. Unless… no, no. That’s crazy. But maybe… no. It’ll never work. Ah, what the hell: bundles! Both Indie Royale and Humble Bundle have new offerings up, and they’re quite tempting, if I do say so myself.
